Listen up, doll faces!
This is breakfast on the quick and tasty tip – mmk?
Oh oats – I could eat them all day! Not like raw or anything… but you know what I mean.
And perky little raisins, they sweeten up life on the healthier side. I’ve been thinking about being healthier – we’ll see…
But for now, let’s just focus on oats and raisins and a few other ingredients that will quickly become your new favorite snack on the go.
Let’s bake up some chewy granola-ish bars that taste like cookies and share with the people we love – deal?
Don’t forget to send me my share: I want more!
Chewy Oatmeal Rasin Bars – adapted – slightly – from AllRecipes
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup wheat bran
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs, beaten lightly
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat bran, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, eggs, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the bars begin to turn a golden brown at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.

If you know me too well, you’d know that I absolutely love OATMEAL. Like, for real. I put it in smoothies, cake & cookie batter, porridge, soups etc. It’s a very versatile grain and clearly I am a fan.
That bars looks amazing, Ashley — a great power bar after workouts 🙂
